What is a vegan substitution for a baking recipe that requires egg yolks?

lots of different egg replacers, i haven't encountered one specifically for egg yolk yet.
can you post the recipe so we can see how the egg yolks are used, then maybe can recommend a better sub

Yeah, depends on what recipe it is and how many egg yolks etc. For example, I modified a shortbread recipe that called for 1 egg yolk by adding in a bit of EnerG Egg replacer with a tsp. each of of coconut oil and water. Worked fine.

I guess I might ask this also- what replaces an egg yolk in a custard? My husbands favorite pie is the Torta Della Nonna and I want to attempt to veganize it but it looks like it might be challenging.
I post these questions here because I get conflicting substitutions off a google search.

IDK- its more dairy and egg than not. It might not come together.

yum i luv pinwheel cookies.
the yolk doesn't do much but bind in this recipe so ener-g would be fine, cornstarch or tapioca starch would work too (mixed with some water or plant milk)

For recipes like this i usually just look for a vegan version. here is one that looks pretty good: http://magiedichicca66.wordpress.com...a-della-nonna/ (the website is easily translated in google)

Personally, I'd probably use silken tofu and I believe you can use agar-agar powder to thicken/gelatinize things. Good luck!
